NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Goalkeeper Whitney
Quackenbush (Manhasset, N.Y.) was selected to the
womenslacrosse.com national honor roll Wednesday for her work last
week. The sophomore made 28 saves for the week, including a
career-high 16 in the 11-9 upset at No. 13 BU Wednesday. That was
the most saves in a game by a Yale goalie since Amanda Laws
’03 also stopped 16 in a win over Vanderbilt seven years ago.
Quackenbush’s work helped the Bulldogs beat BU despite being
outshot 37-15. She added 12 stops Saturday at Dartmouth, giving her
a .571 save percentage for the week.

Quackenbush is coming off an honorable mention All-Ivy League
campaign. Her .492 save percentage last year placed her second in
the league in that category and marked just the third time in the
last 20 years Yale had a freshman goalie register a save percentage
that high. Quackenbush was also third in the league in
goals-against average (9.17) and saves (126).
